   I started a new passion project last year. I don't know if it counts as a huge project, but I could tell going in that it would be the largest and most ambitious solo project I've ever taken on. Given that this is a project that n

   Mate! I'm building exactly this! https://carlnewton.github.io/posts/building-habitat/ Let me know if this is what you're after and you want some help setting up an instance.

   Hey, sorry, I didn't initially see this comment. It looks like Jodel could be similar if you were to set up a Habitat instance that exclusively didn't allow for locations to be attached to any post, but that's not what I have

    Thanks, I'll give the trust system some thought. These are both systems that could be turned on or off per instance so I'm theory they could both exist. I was thinking that the instance administrator would have to be the one to pr

    Thanks so much! I work on it almost every weekend so hopefully you'll continue to see good progress.

    Yeah this is something I've been thinking about recently, not so much in terms of the difficulty of managing spam on a per post basis, as I'm thinking that the instances will be very small and moderation on that front should be ea

    Awesome! For me, the desire is very much about the place and not personalities or any kind of ego attached to their posts, so I've avoided any kind of functionality that will allow to follow a person, or see what else a particular pers

    Hey, I'm sorry, I missed this comment. It's still in early development but if you have experience setting up docker environments, it should be possible to set it up locally. I've put a lot of work into investigating productio

    I think the behaviour you're describing is that a non-numeric value in a number field doesn't trigger the change event in JavaScript. I don't know if it would necessarily be a bug, but a difference in behaviour between Firefo

    I've never heard of it, but I'm on the lookout for a new sci-fi read, so I think I'll get it! Thanks!

    I just opened it again to make sure I wasn't imaginging it. Oddly enough, A works to strafe left for me, but D doesn't work to strafe right. I'm using Firefox 121.0. Edit: ignore me! It's one of my plugins!

    This is amazing! The visual style is stunning. This actually comes very close to a style of game I've wanted to exist for a long time. The premise being this: You're on a ship going between destinations, but there's no light-

    Over the past year or so I’ve been playing with the idea of a decentralised social platform based on your location. By putting physical location at the centre of the experience, such a platform could be used to bring communities together an
